Blinc is a beauty brand that promises to provide safe cosmetics in exceptional formulas. I had only ever heard of the Blinc Mascara which "tubes" your lashes instead of coating them. Hence, I was pumped to get my hands on the Blinc Box Discovery Collection ($45 CAD) - a set of 4 sample sized eye makeup products from blinc cosmetics - a mascara, brow mousse, eyeliner, and eyeshadow primer.
Blinc Mascara Amplified and Eyebrow Mousse || Before and After
Blinc Mascara Amplified - oh famed Blinc mascara...I have heard so much about you. To be honest I was a little underwhelmed at first but it grew on me. The blinc Mascara Amplified is more lengthening than volumizing but can't really hold a curl. It is, however, 100% waterproof as I have experienced no smudging whatsoever. It's also super easy to remove as the blinc Mascara Amplified has a strange formulation that "tubes" the lashes so that on removal, they slide off with ease.
Blinc Eyebrow Mousse in Light Brunette - I've got super thick brows and just need a little filling in. This stuff is BOMB for those that already have thick brows. It fixes my brows in place and adds a slight hint of colour and thickness to any sparse areas. It also lasts all day long. I wish the brush was a tad bit smaller (for better precision). Also noteworthy - for some wild reason, light brunette looks okay with my jet black eyebrow hairs because it's a super cool toned light grey-ish brown. I would definitely repurchase this and choose a better colour from one of the 9 available.
Blinc Light Tone Eyeshadow Primer and Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil || Swatches
Blinc Light Tone Eyeshadow Primer - The shadow primer has a bit of a sheer pigmentation. It does the job in bumping up the bold in my eyeshadows and preventing them from creasing. But this doesn't stand out from other primers that I've tried.
Blinc Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Boy, is this stuff waterproof. Removal requires a constant stream of water on the eye area (i.e. a shower). Never have I come across an eyeliner that lasts more than an half an hour in my waterline. This one lasts 6 HOURS in my waterline and tightline without smudging. It's the perfect pencil liner - creamy when applied, budgeproof when dry, super black and totally waterproof. Highly recommend if you have watery eyes and are looking for a long lasting waterproof eyeliner pencil for the waterline or lower lash line.
Is it worth it? Yes. The mascara is 50% of the full size ($30 full size), the eyebrow mousse is 42% ($30 full size), the primer is 42% (~$32 full size) and the eyeliner pencil is 75% (~$28 full size). The total value given the full sizes is $62. That's $17 in savings and four new products to try!
